Welcome to the dark-side!

I think the View() command will do what you want. This brings up a new
window that displays the data spreadsheet style and you can scroll wherever
you wish. If you want to do work in your command window, the head() and
tail() commands will be of help to you.

If you are just getting started with R, I'd recommend the RStudio IDE, which
will let you pull up variables directly by clicking on their workspace
entry.

Feel free to back get in touch if this doesn't work for you.

PS - In R speak, it's data.frame -- you probably knew that already, but
that's one of those little mistakes that can be oh so frustrating to find,
so I thought I'd just make sure.
